Once again, thanks for the cudos.
I started working the main turrets. They had the tabs on the roof pieces, and I know that they would be really tough to fit inside the turret sides without making a glue mess. So, I decided to tab the turret sides instead. This will make it a lot easier to get the roofs right, if you know what I mean.
I also am trying something new to me. For the blast bags, I cut out a piece of the gunhouse opening at the top of the arch. I'm hoping that I can draw a piece of the blast bag in and glue it on the inside. This hopefully will set up the rest of the bag for gluing with watered down glue, as I do with 1:400 ships. We'll see if this works out.
I'm now having a quandry over barrel sizes. I know the stuff I have should be big enough, but it looks small. I think everybody has this issue with barrels. I know that if I go larger, then the ship will look cartoony

ps. I cut down the 4" gun barrels to make them shorter. They look far more realistic now....
